I hit the 2000 HN post character limit pretty hard on this, had to delete all line items with "NONE - $0" in them and so forth to squeeze in all the data above. Pretend you see that in each item above. :)

This was basically a de-badged Dell Inspiron 7000 clone (guessing same factory of origin), it had the cutouts for Dell stickers on the lid but had a generic AMIBIOS (or was it Phoenix?) instead of a Dell branded, but otherwise all the same hardware, all Linux friendly (added my own PCMCIA card for modem/NIC).

Impressive.

This machine with w2k on it or a gnu system has enough power to use many websites and applications today.
